Wish I Had More News

I wish I had more to tell, but I suppose what I do have is better than nothing.

So, I didn't hear anything from or about Iowa last week (nor today).  Saturday I was in Omaha for a CPR training (which I completed with flying colors, by the way).  It was offered through Lutheran Family Services, so LFS guy was there.  He said he hadn't heard anything from Iowa either and that it can take a couple weeks.  So much for their "two business days," right?  Besides being a star pupil, all was not lost as I was introduced to one of the adoption recruiter gals.  Her name is Wendy and she is going to send me an invitation for an event they are having in October called a "match party."  It is a low key, casual sort of thing where prospective parents and available children mingle without the formality or intensity of an arranged meeting.  It's completely informal - just games, music, crafts - talk to people or you don't - very relaxed.  Meanwhile, she's looking over her records and supposedly my information is passed on to the other "recruiters" for them all to do the same.

Therefore, the waiting continues.
